7-Hydroxyisoquinoline is used to study its photophysial behavior in polymer matrices such as polymethyl methacrylate, cellulose acetate, polyvinyl alcohol and sulfonated tetrafluoroethylene based fluoropolymer- copolymer. It also used to prepare quinine. Further, it is used as the material for all optical switching due to its excited state proton transfer (ESPT) effect.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
